Is this woman in the right, deluded or totally irresponsible?
Charlotte Towner, who owns a two-year-old American bully XL called Coco, says her dog is good company, even for her young child.
Ms Towner thinks the dogs mainly get bad publicity because of how they look and argues a ban would not "eradicate the problem" of attacks.
'More punishment' needed
"I mean, don't get me wrong, my girl's weighing in at 60kg. But she's 60kg of love," she told BBC Newsbeat, arguing questions needed to be raised about owners, rather than animals.
"I just think, don't judge a book by its cover. Before you decide to make the ban, perhaps come and meet other dogs like Coco that are getting the bad name when they really don't deserve it."
